Important Safety Information
The content in this document must be followed in order to ensure safe operation of Nuvation
BMS™.
Do
NOT
energize the system until all connections to the Cell Interface and
Power Interface modules have been made.
Insulated handling is required of any connector carrying potentials over
600Vdc relative to chassis.
Properly insulate or remove any unused wires. Unused wires can couple
excessive system noise into Nuvation BMS which can disrupt
communication and lead to undesirable behaviors.
Please be aware of high voltages present in your system and follow all
necessary safety precautions.
The provided module enclosures are not fire enclosures.
Depending on battery chemistry, there might be a nominal voltage per cell
which adds up in series and is always present. There are many different
battery chemistries with different current capacities, and so high voltage
with high current capacity may be present while connecting the Nuvation
BMS. You must use proper electrical safety precautions when handling any
part of the Nuvation BMS. Neither Nuvation Energy or any of its employees
shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary,
personal or consequential harm or damages (including, but not limited to,
procurement or substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or
business interruption) however caused and on any theory of liability,
whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or
otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of this product.
The Nuvation BMS relies on your system charger to charge the battery
cells; do not leave your charger off while the Nuvation BMS is powered from
the stack for prolonged periods of time. The Nuvation BMS should be shut
down when the system is in storage to minimize the drain on the cells.
